I have no idea how you got this outcome, but it is very pleasing...
I just set the camera on the tripod, composed and shot. Nothing special at all, but I was pretty careful about exactly where in the frame I should place the trees and exactly how much of the foreground hill and distant mountains should be visible.
I got lucky with the clouds - I think that this photo wouldn't work as well with a blue sky. Much of that opinion comes from my favour of gentle, muted tones.
It took me a few moments after scanning to realise that the image was upside down :)

Either I need better scenery or more talent...
Landscape photography is all about being in the right place at the right time. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you make your own luck... I recommend reading "Mountain Light" by Galen Rowell. Good scenery helps a lot, and that's why I'm so glad I live here.
This pic came second in an informal competition run by my local camera shop - unfortunately no prizes for runners-up. The first-placed picture was just stupid and the judging was heavily criticised as a result.
